Abengoa today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Abengoa Yield plc (“Abengoa Yield”) has filed a registration statement on Form F-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in anticipation of a proposed initial public offering of the ordinary shares of Abengoa Yield. Abengoa Yield was formed by Abengoa to serve as the primary vehicle through which Abengoa will own, manage and acquire renewable energy, conventional power and electric transmission lines and other contracted revenue-generating assets, initially focused on North America (the United States and Mexico) and South America (Peru, Chile, Uruguay and Brazil), as well as Europe (Spain). The number of shares to be offered and the price range for the offering have not yet been determined.

The registration statement on Form F-1 filed with the SEC has not yet become effective and the shares to be registered may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time when the registration statement becomes effective. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

Forward-Looking Statements

This communication contains forward-looking statements that may state Abengoa’s or its management’s intentions, beliefs, expectations or predictions for the future. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and typically can be identified by the use of words such as “will,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “forecast,” “plan,” “believe” and similar terms. Although Abengoa believes that its expectations are reasonable, it can give no assurance that these expectations will prove to have been correct, and actual results may vary materially. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated above include, among others, risks and uncertainties related to the capital markets.
